Love Stories From the Past
You can find love stories from previous Vermont Bride Magazines, many including slide shows of the weddings, by clicking here.Here's an excerpt from Alison C. (Ackerknecht) & Gregory M. James' wedding (Alison is the cover bride above from Spring 2007):
How we got engaged
To celebrate our four-year anniversary, we decided to go camping on Kerr Lake in North Carolina, not far from where we currently live. After swimming all day and eating an amazing dinner we had cooked on the grill, we sat down to enjoy Saturday night. Sitting by our campfire, with the lake in the background, the only sounds we could hear were the lapping of the waves on the shore and the crackling of the fire. Greg popped a bottle of champagne, and we toasted our four years together. As I settled back to enjoy my first sip, I saw Greg's hand reach into his pocket, and it was at that moment my jaw dropped open, and I said, "Oh my God"...at least three times. Greg got down on one knee in front of the fire, and after saying some amazingly sweet things, he asked me to be his bride. Several (shocked) seconds later, I said "yes." We spent the night talking about the rest of our lives together as the fire slowly turned to embers.

Traditions – Tasteful or Tacky?
Sure, there are times when the stunned woman who catches the bouquet has been summoned to the dance floor by the droning dj to perform the whole garter stunt and ended up falling madly in love with the young man who caught the garter. In this particular instance, they remain happily married with two beautiful children. You just never know! However, now that you are planning your own wedding it is for you to decide if those customary acts will be part of your celebration. Are there other customs or traditions you will use to signify your own union and celebration. Will these customs carry on in your family or have they already?
Some of the traditions listed below have been handed down through the years from culture to culture. Some are pure folklore and many stem from superstitions. Certain traditions are widely used in modern wedding ceremonies while others exist only within a certain race or culture.
While I hope you enjoy the following legends and lore, when planning your wedding I encourage you to do things your way. There are no rules, no ways that must be followed because Aunt Nellie says it must be. When it comes to your celebration – make it just that, your own. Add your own personalized flare that will make lasting traditions for your family for years to follow.
Customs and tradition should be binding, in a loving family way.
The wedding is one of life’s primeval and surprisingly unchanged rites of passage. There are so many different customs, superstitions and cultural beliefs that have carried on through the ages.
